This plaque is dedicated to John Chipman Kerr V.C. It is located near the ferry he used to run in the Dunvegan Provincial Park.

This memorial was planned and designed entirely by Mr. Rod Crumb and was built in 1980. It features three stelia, with three black marble plaques on the front bearing the names of the local war dead from Canada’s Wars. In relief along the front of the stelia are, on the left, a Blenham Bomber (Second World War Aircraft) on the right, a Corvette Ship, and in the centre, a marching soldier. His plans feature a sword done in relief along the cross on the upper portion of the memorial as well. He and the veterans did the majority of the work, which was the norm for this legion, that everyone would pitch in to help whenever needed. The result was that the costs for the memorial were minimal. The plaques were made separately by Peace Country Memorials in Raycroft. The whole memorial sits on a 10’ by 12’ concrete pad.

This memorial to Mr. John Waller and his comrades was erected by the Waller family in 1934 and marks the location of veterans' graves in the Berwyn Cemetery.

This memorial, which marks the cemetery's field of honour, was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 140 and is dedicated to veterans of the Second World War. Two gravesites were donated to the Valleyview Legion Branch by Comrade Jimmy (Trevor) James for veteran’s graves. In 1994 the Valleyview Legion Branch #140 decided to build a Field of Honour and approached the Town Of Valleyview for a suitable spot. In 1996 two sketches of Monuments were shown to the Branch by Mr. Les Bignold of Suncrest Monuments. The Monument that stands today was picked by the members. Mr. Les Bignold of SunCrest created the Monument. The memorial resides at the back of the cemetery along a path that goes through the graves. Across from it is a bench for mourners. November 11th 1997 was the dedication and unveiling of the monument with the Legion President.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 140 made this park possible. The park was designed by Camrec Facilities, the contractor was Ian Whittaker, and the artist who created the globe statue was Ken Billington. The globe was created with imported Swedish steel. The park was unveiled on 13 September 1986.

Comrade and President Bob Pepper took on this display of framed photographs of local veterans, as a personal quest, on January 25th, 1997. He requested funds for $750.00 to cover the cost of displaying veterans’ pictures in the Legion clubroom. Comrade Gerry Whittaker was financial advisor and Comrade Don Gourlay was on the committee later when he became President. Comrade Don Gourlay and Comrade Don Westlund repaired and updated the display in 2005. On August 27, 2005 this display was incorporated into the year of the veteran celebration with each veteran’s picture blown up to poster size and each veteran’s theatre of service, service number, years in service etc, were put on each 11inches by 17inches high. Also these scanned pictures were put into a power point presentation for Remembrance Day services at the schools and at the Legion service. Comrades Heather Penson, Vimy Berry and Ted Blowers worked endlessly along with our local Computer Teq Anne Jorgensen. This project took many hours to complete and was well received by the veterans’ and their families. The veteran’s were allowed to keep each poster with additional copies made for the families. Even some families used the information on the posters to make up T-Shirts with the veteran’s service information for a keepsake. This was done in honour of local Second World War veterans who are still living or have passed away. Article from a local newspaper: The wall of fame in the Club Room at the Valleyview Memorial Hall has been well-named. This pictorial display of our beloved veterans is beautifully done. It is a fitting tribute to the men and women who put their lives on the line so we can live in freedom. Bob Pepper, president of the Royal Canadian Legion Valleyview branch #140 spearheaded this timely and time-consuming project. If you haven’t already viewed this special acknowledgement of our veterans be sure to do so. President Pepper believes the wall of fame is complete but if someone’s photo is missing please contact him.
